Antonio Canova's "Bust of Napoleon" (1803-1819) is a Neoclassical marble sculpture depicting the French emperor in a youthful, idealized manner. The work, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, captures Napoleon's stoic gaze and features a smooth, polished surface characteristic of Canova's style. This bust exemplifies Canova's ability to blend classical ideals with contemporary subjects, making it a popular and influential work of art during the early 19th century.
